Cleaning and Maintenance! WARNING DISCONNECT THE UNIT FROM THE POWER OUTLET FOR CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE. DO NOT IMMERSE THE H2O HD STEAM CLEANER IN WATER. Cleaning procedure to remove lime scale If your H2O HD Steam Cleaner begins to produce steam slower than usual or stops producing steam you may need to remove lime scale. It is necessary to remove lime scale on a regular basis, every 25 times you use a full tank of water or once a month, especially in areas with hard water. To remove lime scale from the H2O HD Steam Cleaner, please follow these procedures: Using the Cleaning Pin Swirl and push the pin up and down the small hole of the steam outlet in the Main Body. Ensure that all scale debris has been removed from the steam outlet before reassembling. Using a cleaning solution 1. Prepare a solution of 1/3 white vinegar and 2/3 water and add to the Water Tank. 2. Ensure that steam released is aimed away from the floor or surrounding objects. Plug the unit into a properly grounded electrical outlet, turn it ON and allow the unit to produce steam until the vinegar/water solution is used up. 3. Repeat the above procedure as many times as necessary until a normal steam flow is achieved. 4. Fill the Water Tank with fresh water and rinse out. 5. Fill the Water Tank with fresh water again, and release steam through the system until the Water Tank is empty. 6. Perform a test cleaning on a suitable isolated area after each lime scale removal to ensure that there is no debris left in the system. Use detergent to clean the accessories when they are dirty. Wash with clean water and air dry. To clean calcium deposits building up inside the Water Tank: Add 1-2 tablespoons of white vinegar to a full Water Tank, close the Water Tank Cap and shake the contents. DO NOT TURN THE STEAMER ON. Let the unit sit for a few hours. Empty the Water Tank and rinse with clean water until it rinses clear. Cleaning blocked steamer accessories: Due to the high mineral content of water in some areas, some calcium buildup might develop inside the tip of the Jet Nozzle. To clean it, we recommend using a spray lubricant. Spray a small burst or two of the lubricant inside the tip of the Jet Nozzle. After spraying the lubricant, fill the steamer with water and run a continuous jet of steam through the affected accessory for several minutes to remove the deposit. WE RECOMMEND PERFORMING THIS PROCEDURE IN A PROTECTED AND WELL-VENTILATED AREA.
